In this trip we explored the Anza Borrego Desert Area. We started in Blair Valley near Julian, CA and made our way up north through the desert until we hit the Diablo Drop Off. It was a tough decision if we should go down the left (and more easy) path but in the end we decided to take the more challenging route to the right. And let me tell you, depending on the condition of the trail, be prepared for some fun off-road adventure even though it will only last a few seconds! With a heavy car like our Toyota Land Cruiser, there was basically no way to stop the "white elephant" once it reached the tipping point at the beginning of the drop off. Releasing the break (even though this is the last thing you want to do in such a moment) was essential to maintain control during the way down.
After the Diablo Drop Off we continued our way through Sandstone Canyon which not only offers spectacular scenery but also some challenging off-road obstacles. One of them is the "Sandstone Canyon Gate Keeper" which might not look that intimidating at first but driving a wide car as the Land Cruiser through it can be quite an interesting task.
After a fun night camping, we left this area through Fish Creek Wash and continued our trip towards Salton Sea.
